More, from P pulicat :

Water and rock textures/details are the weakest part of Yotei and look a couple of generations behind Shadows.

Another generational difference is snow and rain effects.

The biggest difference between Yotei and Shadows is definitely the lighting, where Yotei lighting is really flat in comparison to Shadows. Combined with low level of texture details and assets, it gave an early PS4-era graphics look.

It's true what they say: average chicks can look real cute when put next to an uggo.

Art vs Tech.

Yotei has prettier art but on a tech level, Shadows looks better.

[Poppinfresh]

Shadows wins simply because its female protagonist is attractive

 

[RoboFu]

[Team Skoda]

Anyone that claims Yotei looks better is just lying to themselves and trying to cope with their pre-order.

 

[GudOlRub]

Shadows looks better but taking Tsushima into account I already know Yotei plays much better and most likely has the better story as well.

I think some of the takes pre-release might give you a laugh, like this thread:

Damn, too ugly for me. I can be shallow like that. Skipped FF12 cuz the dude looked like a lady lol.

 

[Exede]

Im playing shadows for a bit now, I was one shitting on it when all the stupid decisions emerged from ubisoft about it, not that it counts much but I'm having way more fun playing shadows then i had with playing valhalla.
Some lore changes here n there and no lies from Ubi could've secured them some more sales easily.
I'm even kinda surprised i begin to.... like the "Samurai" (to write this is super strange)

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

With both faces lined up, the Yotei girl is considerably uglier.

Wow, this is much closer than I thought it would be. Yotei has better snow, AC better water.

[icecold1983]

Losing to ubisoft in one of these, and by such a huge margin, has to be embarrassing.

I choose Onimusha instead.

From tech perspective it might not be as high tech them? (I dont know I'm no tech expert) but I MUCH prefer Onimusha's art direction over these two games.

Maybe because I like how dark and moody Onimusha is compare to GoY and AC Shadows.

Onimusha isn't open world.

Capcom has yet to prove themselves with open world games. Each one they've made on RE Engine has had technical, framerate, and/or graphical issues.

 

[rsouzadk]

Damn.. Shadows is like a gen ahead.

 

[Danjin44]

Onimusha isn't open world.

Yeah and in my opinion is gonna be better game than GoY and AC Shadows because of it. Most of my issue with GoT other than its boring combat is the open world design sucked.

 

[drotahorror]

AC Shadows is probably top 5 in graphics department right now imo, maxed on PC.

Yeah too bad the mission/quest design rinse and repeat and story are all dogshit! Gave up after 12-15 hours of doing the same shit over and over. The game looks phenomenal though, was so impressed with the grpahics on Pro. I probably kept playing 5+ hours more than I did because of this.

 

[Aion002]

Most probably don't care but Atsu character design makes a lot of sense.

Basically Japan has two distinct face types (North and South).


Atsu was born in the north of Japan in the Ezo region, which is now known as Hokkaido. While Naoe from AC Shadows was born in Iga, which was located at the the center of Japan in the Honshu island.

 

[Memati187]

AC>yoThefuck

 

[Fabieter]

Ac is a gen ahead. Sadly both open worlds are mostly busy work so it doesnt matter anyway.

you need to have shame to be embarrassed. these guys have none.

My immediate thought too. That chick is hot as hell now! Ha!

[Dalbajobas]

Yotey looks like it was made for ps4

Spoiler

at times.. ok pretty much most of the time

 

[RNK]

To me, Yotei looks better in every way besides water and destruction, which aren't a big deal to ME. The animation in Shadows in stiff compared to the fluidity of Yotei, and the textures and lighting look better as well.

Just my opinion..

[pulicat]

There are many parts in Yotei that look too underwhelming, and if you were telling me it was from a PS3 game, I wouldn't be surprised. How is this even possible for a game running on PS5 with 16.7 teraflops?

Even with the budget RTGI in Yotei, that is an embarrassing showcase for their lighting vs Shadows.

 

[Jinxed]

Art vs tech, yeah I'll go with art.

 

[March Climber]

I don't disagree, I just don't think it's a fair graphical comparison.

 

[Syphon Filter]

battle of the woke slop games.

 

[Wilhelm_85]

Shadows looks awesome. Still the only main AC game I haven't played and likely won't unless they come out with a remixed version that completely removes the Yasuke abomination.

 

[Inviusx]

Shadows looks immaculate but it controls like shit, all the classic AC jank remains with just a really nice coat of paint.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm not talking about graphics, if you read my original post I said "Onimusha might not be high tech but I much prefer its art direction compare to GoY and AC".

Graphical fidelity is a part of 3D art. That concept-art esque imagery would not be possible otherwise.

I have a feeling you will have another rebuttal coming lol, but deep down I think you know what I mean.

I defintly prefer ghost 2 lightning even tho its the same as ghost 1. Shadows looks flat to me

Ghost of Yōtei vs Assassin's Creed Shadows | Ultimate Graphics Showdown

 

[Heisenberg007]

Shadows is technically better. AC games have always been very pretty looking.

Ghost of games have better art and are more fun to play.

[Pimpbaa]

I'd rather buy Shadows…cause it's on sale.

 

[Sardaukarama]

Will be interesting how much love Sony give to the Yotei pc version

 

[AGRacing]

The digital foundry video looked nice for Yotei… but some of these screenshots look like the textures haven't even fully loaded in.

Yea John wasn't exactly focussing on the weaker aspects of the game. I feel he likes to avoid any controversy these days, he's a bit fragile
